16.thoughthough解析：參見47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用?！笨芍?，此空處應(yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即eventhough。

17.betweenbetween解析：此句意為“Thomas先生盡管不能在握筆方式和拼寫準(zhǔn)確性之間建立重要的統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)聯(lián)系，…”所以答案為介詞between。

18.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個(gè)目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達(dá)的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購(gòu)買的欲望去購(gòu)買自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

19.whatwhat解析：這句話的意思是“這就是商家和賣者希望顧客們做的事情”，what引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)表語(yǔ)從句，故答案為what。

20.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天幾乎每件東西都可以被扔掉?！笨芍?，“…任何東西不再明智了?！敝械目仗帒?yīng)為“再利用”，這樣前后兩句邏輯上才能合理。

21.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個(gè)人的幸福。所以此處應(yīng)填“happiness”。

22.asas解析：such…as意為“這樣的…如”。此空后為并列的三個(gè)分詞短語(yǔ)，即“如”后跟的例舉事項(xiàng)。

23.dodo解析：答案為do。

24.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)?？疾楸粍?dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應(yīng)填“by”。

25.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

26.A解析：由A中內(nèi)容的introduction中“…providingaround20％oftheworld’selectricity．”可知答案為A。

27.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三種新材料。

28.DD解析：由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此處才能連貫，D為上一段最后一句的舉例。

29.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案為D。

30.A解析：由A中第二段第一句“Intheseniorschool，two-thirdsofthepupilsareboarders，andboardingisavailablefromtheageof11．”可知。

31.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

32.C解析：A、B、D在文中均提到，是正確的，而C不對(duì)，文中提到“Youwouldexpectthemtofindtheirfriendsfromtheirprofessionalassociates,butthisisnotthecase.Rather,theyprefertomakefriendswiththenormalfolkintheirdistricts.”

33.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

34.C解析：這個(gè)題考察的是對(duì)后面幾段的歸納。首先在第三段開始“Dr．MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday，andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight．”這是一種對(duì)比性的研究方法。后來的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywenttosleep．”也采用了對(duì)比的分析研究，故應(yīng)選C。

35.D解析：由D中的第二段第一句話“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays；…”可知。

36.A解析：由短文第一段最后一句“…managersandprofessionalsspendmorethanhalfoftheirtimeincommunicatingwitheachother．”可知，作者引用Straussmann的話主要是為了表明交流能力的重要性。

37.C解析：由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國(guó)只有四個(gè)州沒有importtaxes。美國(guó)一共50個(gè)州，所以應(yīng)該有46個(gè)有importtaxes。

38.BB解析：由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”與之對(duì)應(yīng)。

39.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因?yàn)檫x項(xiàng)中的“This,ofcourse,willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem-isalreadyintroducingthem.”相對(duì)應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選F。

40.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句話“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingtheuseofcleantechnologiesandenvironmentallysoundproductiontechniques，．．．．”可知。

41.B短文賞析

本文介紹了稅的歷史及稅種。從古至今，各國(guó)的統(tǒng)治者曾經(jīng)征收過各種各樣奇怪的稅種。稅種多可以分散納稅壓力。不同的人納稅負(fù)擔(dān)是不同的，因此三級(jí)政府有不同的稅種，最為常見的就是所得稅、財(cái)產(chǎn)稅、銷售稅、資產(chǎn)稅、遺產(chǎn)稅和禮物稅。其中，所得稅是聯(lián)邦收入的主要來源，最古老的稅種是財(cái)產(chǎn)稅。銷售稅是向購(gòu)買行為征收的稅。另外，每個(gè)人在死后轉(zhuǎn)移資產(chǎn)的時(shí)候，如果超過一定數(shù)量還要支付資產(chǎn)稅。

答案解析:

由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho．．．Topayforthewearandtearonhisteeth．”。

42.C由此空上幾段看，均是在講述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段則提到另一個(gè)人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因?yàn)镃中講述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

43.D由D中的第一段“．．．ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

44.B短文賞析

過去的時(shí)代常常用某一種材料命名。未來的材料科學(xué)時(shí)代將迎來許多新的技術(shù)。新材料出現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵在于研究者越來越能夠在分子層次上操縱材料?？茖W(xué)家制造了硬度更高的抗熱瓷器。同樣，塑料也經(jīng)歷了轉(zhuǎn)變。高強(qiáng)度塑料被用來作為建筑材料，還出現(xiàn)了能夠發(fā)電的塑料，塑料回收再利用功能得以增強(qiáng)，而用塑料制成的化合物甚至被用于制造戰(zhàn)斗頭盔。由玻璃制成的電纜將電話訊號(hào)傳遞到全國(guó)各地。但是，新材料的影響只有制成產(chǎn)品才能夠被看到。因此，技術(shù)的商業(yè)化將決定一個(gè)國(guó)家未來的成敗。

答案解析:

由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三種新材料。

45.C由第二段最后一句“Toreceiveareturnontheirinvestment，wisecorporateexecutiveofficersarerealizingwhatindustrialistsandagriculturistslearnedlongago-efficienttoolsareessentialforin—creasedproductivity．”可知。2021年遼寧省錦州市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
